by sunsprite16

Queen Anna has been tempted by the ghost of her grandfather to have the ability to control fire.

Elsa realizes that she must restore the ship that her parents sailed on, to get the legendary fire ruby with the help of the Madrigals.

10. Chapter 10

Elsa and Alma Madrigal were glaring at each other when Iduna crossed her arms and said to herself, "That wasn't a very nice thing to say."

Kristoff, who happened to overhear this, chimed in, "No kidding. If you have something that can help us save Anna, Alma, then you better show us now."

Alma Madrigal was left speechless. In a burst of anger, she retorted, "There is nothing that I'm hiding!"

Dolores, looking puzzled, asked, "Why would you say it in that tone then, Abuela?"

Camillo quickly realized something was amiss. He looked at his Abuela with suspicion and said, "You know, I have a feeling that Queen Anna isn't the only one being corrupted around here."

Elsa's attention immediately shifted from Camillo to Alma Madrigal. With a heavy sigh of despair, Alma confessed to everyone, "He's right. I am very, very sorry mi familia. Last night, I had a dream I should never have had. A tall man with a mustache appeared to me, claiming to be King Runeard. He promised that our town would be protected as long as he controlled Queen Ana's consciousness. So, I agreed to keep the Fire Ruby, which, it turns out, is inside the candle."

Mirabel was in disbelief. "All this time, the Fire Ruby was inside Abuela's candle, and it somehow linked Queen Anna to her own grandfather's corruption," she realized. She pleaded, "Abuela, please, we must do the right thing. We need to give Elsa that ruby."

Abuela was very hesitant to agree. "But our community, Mirabel," she began to protest.

Elsa had finally reached her limit. Suddenly, she used her ice magic to force Alma to drop the candle. The dropped candle quickly set the entire grassy area ablaze. Mirabel was shocked and exclaimed, "Elsa, what have you done?"

Without responding, Elsa urgently summoned the water spirit from the river. She commanded it with determination, "We need to get to Arendelle now."

As Elsa and the water spirit rode out into the sunset, Bruno had already organized everyone to grab buckets. They filled them with water to extinguish the fire.

Meanwhile, Abuela and Mirabel could do nothing but watch as Elsa vanished into the distance. Mirabel turned to her Grandmother and said feeling rather betrayed, "You know, this all could have been avoided if you just told us the truth." Abuela realized Mirabel was right and pondered her actions, thinking, "What have I done?"
